After Chatta Chowk, you will walk through a patio and get to an expectacual place, a large pavilion for imperial audiences. In the centre of the Imperial City, after it all the private parts of the fortress. All of red sandstone full of columns. In the centre, the marble white throne.
The light here is incredible. Leave a Comment Address: Red Fort |
Delhi has roughly 2 main areas:
The Old core of the city, called Old Delhi, in the north, is the dedalus of narrow streets around the Red Fort and the Jami Masjid mosque.
The new part of the city is crossed by huge ordered avenues and big monuments and government buildings. This area around Connaught Place and the Gate of India is called New Delhi. Leave a Comment |
Erected in 1650 on a hill overlooking Chandni chowk and the Red fort. The biggest mosque in India. Loads of pigeons in the central square. You can climb on the tower for a nice view on Old Delhi (additional entrance fee for the tower, no change given) Leave a Comment |
Once you entrance to the Red Fort you will get through a long street, a covered gallery full of souvenir, photograph, jewel ... shops. Here I bought a new memory stick for my sony camera ( 4540 R. 560MB). Be prepared for thousands of pic at this imperial city.
Here things are much more expensive than outside :))
In old times here use to be the best Delhi's craftsmen Leave a Comment Address: Chandni Chowk |

After seeing the beautiful Isa Khan group, we thought that was all ... but ... we saw another kind of entrance or building and we decided to go to see what was it. We where very happy of what we had seen till then and we reallly thought it was the end of the visit ...
And there it was after that entrance it was the really Humayun Tomb, as I had imagen Taj Mahal, ... but in colours ...
I have notice that some monuments are hide after this kind of entrance. You don't see what is after because is well calculated, and when you reach to it ... the suprise is incredible Leave a Comment Address: Mathura Rd.Directions: Nizamuddin |

The beautiful entrance to Red Fort has lots of importance for India, here is the place where the Indian flag was hoisted for first time when India get its independence in 1947.
Like other Indian Monuments, Red Fort is not a Monument but a group of Monuments, palaces, a imperial city protected by gorgeous red walls.
Tourist Entrance 100 R. Leave a Comment Address: Chandni ChowkDirections: We get here walking from Chandni Chowk market |
Walking along Chandni Chowk [in English said as Moonlight Square], especially in Friday praying, i can find both religious activity and commerce mixing in harmony. Not only Jami Masjid, here also laying Sisganj Gurudwara, Shiv Temple and Sunehri Masjid. Plus Kinari Bazaar, Dariba Kalan and Karim's.
You can imagine, the atmosphere. Just like a festival, time by time here :) Leave a Comment Address: old delhi, opposite the red fort. |
